If anyone’s gonna make a soft pink manicure go viral, it’s Hailey Bieber. The queen of glazed, glossy, and everything sweet just debuted her latest nail look—and it’s straight out of an ice cream shop.
The “ice cream nails” are officially in for summer 2025, and Hailey’s version? Pastel perfection with a drip of strawberry-vanilla energy.
A French Mani, But Make It Melted
So what are ice cream nails, exactly? Picture a pinky-neutral base that fades into a soft white tip—no harsh lines, just a smooth ombré blend that looks like your French tips spent the day in the sun. Naomi Yasuda (nail artist to the stars) describes them as “melted ice cream colors,” and honestly, that’s the vibe.
Hailey’s version uses a subtle, sheer pink that matches her usual clean-girl aesthetic. Her go-to almond shape is still intact, giving the whole look a polished, Instagram-filtered finish.
Soft-Serve Nails Are the New Chrome
Last summer, it was all about chrome. This year, soft gradients are taking the lead—and Hailey’s timing is perfect. It catches the light like jelly gloss and pairs with everything. Whether you’re a minimalist girlie or just not ready to commit to neon for summer, this is your safe zone.
We’ve seen donut nails, latte nails, even cinnamon bun chrome. Ice cream nails are the softer cousin—less shimmery, more creamy. And while Hailey did match the set to her Rhode lip treatment in a recent selfie (brand synergy alert), the nails themselves steal the show.
If you’re booking a mani this week, bring this pic. Sweet, neutral, and melt-level smooth? It’s the summer dessert that won’t drip.
